§ MR. P. C. DOOGAN (Tyrone, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster-General, whether he is aware that letters posted in Innismore Post Office at half-past seven a.m. do not reach Enniskillen, which is only seven miles distant, until a period of 36 hours has elapsed, and that this long delay in transmission practically prevents the people of Innismore from transacting business by letter with Enniskillen, which is their market town; and, whether, with a view to remedy this state of things, he will take steps to have the time of despatching the mails from Innismore altered from the unusual hour of 6 a.m. to 5 p.m.
§ MR. HANBURYThe mail is despatched from Innismore between 6 and 7 a.m., and letters for Enniskillen posted after this despatch would be delivered as stated by the hon. Member. Enquiry shall be made whether it is practicable to arrange for a despatch in the afternoon, instead of in the morning, and the result shall be communicated to the hon. Member.
